2 dead in San Bernardino homicides

SAN BERNARDINO -- Two people were killed in unrelated homicides Sunday.

Police said Manuel Alfred Galvan, 36, of Redlands, was shot in the upper torso in the 1000 block of North Mountain View Avenue at 6:35 p.m.

Officers found several shell casings in front of a home in the area. They later received a report that someone had arrived at St. Bernardine Medical Center in San Bernardino with multiple gunshot wounds.

Paramedics transferred Galvan to Loma Linda University Medical Center where he died at 8:07 p.m.

A San Bernardino woman died several hours earlier in what police describe as a domestic violence incident at an apartment complex in the 2000 block of College Avenue.

San Bernardino police were called to the residence at 3:14 p.m. by someone related to the couple, said San Bernardino police Lt. Paul Williams.

“Family members were in contact with the male,” Williams said. “They became concerned for the female.”

Police knocked on the door, but no one answered.

Officers received a key from management and entered, finding Ashley N. Atherley, 28, of San Bernardino suffering from trauma to her upper body.

Atherley’s husband was not in the apartment. The couple’s two young children were being cared for by relatives in another city, Williams said.

Correction: A previous version of this story incorrectly indicated in the headline that both victims were San Bernardino residents.
